Improve render times of After Effects

Improve the rendering times with Adobe After Effects; sometimes as great as from one hour to five minutes.

I did a test with a very complex scene composed in a big composition (5000x7000 pixels), with a lot of elements. Outside this composition the camera moves within a 1025x576 composition.

If I render it as is, in Full Current Options + Motion Blur activated the composition gives me approximately one hour of rendering time.

Then if you select a view port (that covers all the composition 1024x576) using the same conditions the render only takes 5 minutes! The easiest way to show the settings used is with this screenshot.

This isn't a catch-all method but it can work wonders in the right situation. You can read more here.

Writes Graham: ?Most people never get around to editing their videos. So having easy-to-obtain software on a device that lets you edit anywhere, like the iPad, will, hopefully, result in more polished videos.?
